Introduced·1/20/26
Introduced Text

Amends abortion consent requirements for minors in Arizona, including notarized consent and judicial bypass procedures.

Arizona SB1220 amends the state's abortion consent requirements for minors. It mandates that a person shall not perform an abortion on a pregnant unemancipated minor without the written consent of one of the minor's parents or the minor's guardian or conservator. If the court fails to issue a ruling within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays, after the petition is filed, the petition is deemed to have been granted and the consent requirement is waived. The bill also outlines procedures for a pregnant minor to seek judicial authorization for an abortion without parental consent.
